Answer:

  c.  35.34015106

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many problems of this nature, you only need to get close to be able to choose the correct answer. 22 minutes 45 seconds is just slightly less than 1/2 degree (30 minutes), so the tangent value will be just slightly less than tan(88.5°) ≈ 38. The appropriate choice is 35.34015106.

If you need confirmation, you can find tan(88°) ≈ 29, so you know the answer will be between 29 and 38.

__

The above has to do with strategies for choosing answers on multiple-choice problems. Below, we will work the problem.

The angle is (in degrees) ...

  88 + 22/60 +45/3600 = 88 + (22·60 +45)/3600 = 88 +1365/3600

  ≈ 88.3791666... (repeating) . . . . degrees

A calculator tells you the tangent of that is ...

  tan(88.3791666...°) ≈ 35.3401510614

Many calculators will round that to 10 digits, as in the answer above. Others can give a value correct to 32 digits. Spreadsheet values will often be correct to 15 or 16 digits.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

x=−4/3 or x=−3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6x2+17x+12=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(3x+4)(2x+3)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

3x+4=0 or 2x+3=0

x=−4/3 or x=−3/2

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1. 516 ppm; 2. 561 ppm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. CO₂ increase at old rate

Time = 2100 - 2010 = 90 years

Increase in CO₂ = 90 yr × (1.4 ppm/1 yr) = 126 ppm

CO₂ in 2010 = 390 + 126 = 516 ppm

At the old rate, the CO₂ concentration in 2100 will be 516 ppm.

2. CO₂ increase at new rate

Time = 2100 - 2010 = 90 years

Increase in CO₂ = 90 yr × (1.9 ppm/1 yr) = 171 ppm

CO₂ in 2010 = 390 + 171 = 561 ppm

At the new rate, the CO₂ concentration in 2100 will be 561 ppm.
